[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 736430, member: 21499"] My son got out of jail a couple months ago and at first i did very well. The only thing i gave him was a ride to court in an uber. No rides. I have not given him money. Then i caved because my grandaughter wanted to see him and i agreed to take her to the theater and pick her up. He manipulated that into going somewhere else and i ended up spending most of day carting them around. Then it was more ubers then he wanted a bike to save money on ubers. My husband and i thought that might be a good idea so we went out and found a cheap used one. Told him we had it and he starts harrassing us taking too long to get there not answering him immediately. Not picking up when he calls we only accept texts. Then i get in a text yell and finally answer the phone both of us yelling. Left off the bike and although i had told him i didn't want to hear from him for at least a few days he texts everything that is wrong with the bike that we didnt notice. Wants to exchange it but we bought it used so we couldn't. I personally think he exagerated the problems. Kicking gift horse in mouth. He also wants help with legal fees . we had promised his lawyer we would pay for an evaluation and it has been so long i thought he forgot. That was brought up again. I am thinking about writing a letter to him and setting better boundaries but it will probably just set him off. He is working but not making enough to live on as far as i can tell. I am angry with myself for caving in again. [/QUOTE]
